Jewelry Care
A good rule of thumb is that jewelry should be the last thing you wear when you go out and the first thing you take off when you get home.
DIAMONDS and MOISSANITE.
Diamonds and Moissanite are forever, and with some simple care, you can preserve them forever. Store diamond jewels so that each piece is separated from the next so they cannot scratch each other. Different stones have different hardnesses, and softer stones and metals can easily be scratched by harder stones. Diamonds are the hardest material; moissanite is the second hardest and should be stored individually and not in contact with other diamonds. Diamonds are best stored in the box in which they came or a soft fabric pouch.
Diamonds should be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Do not use harsh detergents or alcohol. Rings can be cleaned regularly to maintain the sparkle of the diamond and remove any germs and hand cream trapped behind the setting.
Even though diamonds are hard-wearing, it is recommended that you do not wear them while carrying out hard labor work.
GEMSTONES
All gemstones are very precious, and you must protect them by avoiding contact with abrasive surfaces and impact against hard surfaces. It is best to store gemstones separately, ideally in the box in which they were received or in a soft fabric pouch.
If carrying our hard labor work, we advise taking off your jewelry to protect your gemstones.
Using a soft, lint-free cloth to clean your gemstones is best. However, soap, water, and liquid cleaners must not be used on certain gemstones, so it is best to contact Customer Service if unsure. Please also avoid harsh chemicals in contact with your gemstones, which may dull the stone and cause erosion.
GOLD & PLATINUM
You can use a non-abrasive cleaner to maintain your gold and platinum jewelry. Use a soft cloth to polish your gold regularly and store it separately from other metals to avoid discoloration. Both 18-carat white gold and platinum rings may need re-polishing depending on the level of wear and tear. Do not let your gold jewelry come into contact with household bleach, which will cause the gold to discolor and possibly even disintegrate. Try to avoid wearing platinum and white gold rings side by side because the softness of each metal differs.
To avoid your gold tarnishing, always remove jewelry when you go swimming - chlorinated water can damage the surface of the metal. You should also remove your gold when applying perfume, hairspray, and cleaning products.
You should not wear your gold or platinum jewelry while working hard, as precious metals can scratch and dent when they come into contact with harder elements.
